50.2% in mayoral election: Wilhering remains in SPÖ hands

“I am overwhelmed by the result,” the 38-year-old told the OÖN. She had not expected to be elected as the new mayor in the first round of voting and thus the successor to her father Mario Mühlböck. He resigned from the office in February after 26 years for health reasons.

With a voter turnout of 81.56 percent (with voting cards), Mühlböck-Oppolzer received 2,007 votes or 50.20 percent. ÖVP candidate Markus Langthaler received 1,838 votes or 45.97 percent, while Doris Eisenriegler of the Greens was elected by 153 Wilheringers, which corresponded to 3.83 percent of the votes.
